I got it to work (also using the XML version) using the following
mydocbook.dsl. Basically, (define %default-language% "fr") should be all
that's needed.

<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!ENTITY % html "IGNORE">
<![%html;[
<!ENTITY % print "IGNORE">
<!ENTITY docbook.dsl PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DOCUMENT DocBook HTML Stylesheet//EN" CDATA dsssl>

<style-sheet>
<style-specification use="docbook">
<style-specification-body> 

;; Common customizations (both print and html)

(define %default-language% "nl")

<![%print;[

;; customize the print stylesheet
(define %paper-type%

  "A4")


(define %generate-article-toc% 
  ;; Should a Table of Contents be produced for Articles?

  ;; Make FIRSTTERM elements bold?

  ;; Name for the root HTML document

(define %stylesheet%
  ;; Name of the stylesheet to use

(define %show-comments%
  ;; Display Comment elements?
  #t)
